"1000 L1 cache"? "500 GB hard drives"? Uhh, false advertising, anyone? "800Mhz FSB" on a A64? How is this guy still in business, assuming this isn't a bad joke?

That just shows there are stupid people in Canada, Australia, Germany, Ireland and Britain.

I disregarded the site when i saw the "Athlon FX 51 3400+" but when i looked in the FAQ it turned into sheer stupidity. Claiming that his computers have no rendering time and that hard drive moldings help this happen. Wow, this is one hell of a funny joke...at least it better be.

 

[Texun]

On his MX57 laptop he states, "AMD's FX-51 3400+ processor moved data so fast, that we call it INSTANT performance!" Notice how he used his definition of the word "instant," and not necessarily Webster's. I guess it depends on what your definition of "instant" is. Sounds sort of Clinton-ish.

Boy Blunder asked about his site and if it was hard to read... yep. Those custom 800Mhz chips and Hyperdrives might help him with his superhuman computer skills but they don't do much for HTML.

Eight year warranty?
Ha!

.11 dB?

Thats the margin of error on even sound meters that are in the few hundred $$ range.

On the same page as his overhyped stats....

"Stealth (Noise Level) - .11 dba (Absolutely Silent)"

Maybe he took the measurement from the next room... or across the street.

is that as in o.11dB???

i believe that would be drowned out by your neighbours heartbeat

 

[bsmithy]

i bet it's just an HTML project for a course or something.

just made up some content

So I emailed him pointing out that it is no FX-51 3400+ and the HTT/FSB thing and he emails me back with this:

Hello Michael,

The AMD FX-51 3400+ is AMD?s Flagship processor which we have had exclusively for the last 6 weeks as of this time. The MX57 was and still is the finest laptop with the best in components and speed.

Athlon 64?s run on a 800MHz Front Side Bus within Windows XP. By default, the architecture is designed to run on a 1600MHz Bus speed as well.

With our superior experience and the finest clients in the industry always demanding instant performance, we are so proud to always develop it first and foremost.

We will be glad to take off $100 for you and still include a 5 year warranty. Fair enough?

No spoof

 

[MrCodeDude]

Also, isn't the 3400+ Socket 754 while the FX-51 is Socket 939 and Socket 940?

 

[GonzoDaGr8]

Today, Michael's Computers introduced the world's first laptop with a 1600MHz FRONT SIDE BUS. Utilizing the new AMD 64-BIT Clawhammer 3200+ processor, this is leading technology operating more than 15 times as fast as any competitor and appearing only at michaelscomputers.com.

Umm, Yeah. I really want some of what these people are taking. Michael's RDF has really kicked in here.

EDIT: RDF = Reality Distortion Field.

Thou art dumb

I am going to email him and ask for the link to that 3dmark score.

 

[Voip]

If I had a ton of money to throw around I would but it just to see if it it's BS or not. I'm pretty sure it is, though.

 

[Redviffer]

It really looks like someone out there just pulling all our legs. If he does manage to sell anything, I'm sure he'll be pulled into the courts soon enough, especially since he's in CA: land of the lawyers.

 

[Mday]

this is a "parody" site.

 

[oogabooga]

at first i was laughing, but then you can actually pay him through paypal. I don't really think he's kidding.

It's kinda funny when someone who doesn't know anything about computers trys to make up facts and sell computers. I was about to buy one I was convinced i needed 1000 L1 and a -.11db Computer

I'm about 20 minutes from marina del rey, maybe I'll don my ninja suit tomorrow and go down and take some stealthy pics of his ultra high tech modern business.
